Thermal protection performance tester for the determination of single-layer or multi-layer fabrics in high-temperature environment against thermal radiation performance
Thermal protection performance tester is used to determine the single-layer or multi-layer fabrics in a high temperature environment thermal radiation performance. Thermal radiation resistance is an important performance index of flame retardant products, accurate determination of its protective properties, for the selection of materials. Research and development of new products. Improve the processing technology has important guidance significance.
Method A: The sample is mounted in a separate frame and exposed to the heat radiation source for a certain period of time. The intensity of the thermal radiation is controlled by adjusting the distance between the sample and the radiation source. After the test, the visual changes of the sample at all levels are examined.
Method B: The sample is fixed to the calorimeter and exposed to the heat radiation source. The time required for the calorimeter temperature to rise by 12°C and 24°C was measured separately.
On the basis of these data, the heat flux rate is calculated from the difference in the density of the transmitted and incident heat flow. The cooling system is provided by a continuous flow of water from the inlet and outlet ports on the tester.

Testing the protective performance of materials exposed to molten metal
A steel rod in a steel cone is heated in a furnace to 600°C. The heated steel cone is placed on a calorimeter and a device on top of the sample. When the magnetic switch is triggered, the molten metal drops onto the surface of the sample. The calorimeter records the starting temperature.Z high temperature and the temperature Zda difference. The calorimeter needs to be set to 20°C before and after the test. Calculation and standardized evaluation.

Measurement of the contact heat flux of protective clothing and materials
Before the experiment, the heating cylinder is heated to the specified temperature and the specimen is mounted on a calorimeter. The calorimeter is moved towards the heated cylinder at a speed of 5 mm/s and after contact, a load of 45 N is applied. A 10°C temperature rise time threshold is measured with the calorimeter. The temperature of the heated cartridge can be adjusted from room temperature to 500°C.

Product Description.
Evaluation of material resistance to liquid metal splash performance
During the test, an appropriate amount of molten metal is sputtered onto the sample placed at an angle. A PVC film is attached to the back of the sample and comes into contact with it. The damage is evaluated by recording the changes in the PVC film after the sputtering process. Depending on the test results, the test is repeated using larger or smaller amounts of metal until the PVC film is less damaged by Z.
A furnace with induction coil and high frequency generator melts the metal. A high-performance fiber optic two-color pyrometer is used for temperature control and measurement of the sputtering temperature. Temperature controller adjusts the temperature between 700°C and 1800°C. Stepper motors control the tilt speed and tilt angle. The cooling unit uses a water stream connected to the inlet and outlet of the unit for cooling.
